Parker should be about 5 mos now right? His b-day is a couple of days before Emmy's. Just let me say your son is gorgeous and growing like a weed! god bless him!!!!!!! My hubby, Rich, is in the guard and working full time...so he misses his little girl, he is so happy to see her when he can. I hope things calm down there for you so you can get some Parker time....enough with the hurricanes down there already!

I'm wondering if I will ever have any free time again. Military duty, civilian job, and now hurricane relief? It seems to never end. Mr. Parker seems to have really missed me while I was in San Antonio. He wouldn't stop smiling when I got home. He gets bigger by the day. My family is traveling in from Georgia and Florida Friday or Saturday, if Ivan permits, to have a little family party for Parker. I guess it is a combination welcome to the family and belated baby shower.

Parker has been eating cereal for a while now, and doing quite well with it. This is his 2nd week with stage 1 fruits and veggies. I think his favorite is banana's. He gets so dirty when he eats[:D]. His face gets covered. His entire face gets coated. He likes to put his hands in his mouth and smear it around. I told my wife that it scares me to think when he can start using a spoon on his own. I'm guessing that he is somewhere over the 11 lbs. range. He's continuing with the drooling, and loves to talk while I'm driving. If anyone has any info on Julie and her pregnancy, please let us know. They are in our prayers. I'll post more later.

Emmy is teething too now, and our little ones are around the same age...so hang in there. Her appitite goes up and down too. Thanks for the good work you did for Florida, I have family down there, and Emmy and I went down there from Aug 23-29...(Emmy dipped her toes in the ocean), and I know they need all the help they can get! (My family got rained all over by Frances now :( ) Anyway, good luck in San Antnio, and you will be back with your little guy before you know it!

I have put some new pic's of Parker on his web page. He is still doing really great, but his appetite seems to have fallen off a little bit. We think he is starting to teeth, he's licking on his gums and drooling a lot. I will be going to San Antonio Sunday and I'm already missing my boy. I know he's in great hands with his granny and mom, but I will miss our everyday routine. I hope that everyone out there is doing ok, i.e. Julie. Our prayers are with everyone that is going through what we have already experienced.

I don't know what went on with my computer on the last post, but I'll try again.

HELLO EVERYONE!!!! My posts are getting further and further apart, but I want everyone to know that we are still thinking about ya'll. Parker's last doctor's visit was way beyond expectations. He is now over 10 lbs., eating cereal, took all 3 shots plus a heel stick without shedding a tear. He is sleeping through the night, I would prefer that he wake up and get at least one good bottle at 11 or 2, but the wife really likes it. His growth chart looks like a ladder going straight up to a window. His doctor said that by his next visit, in Oct., he will be on the normal childs growth chart!!!![:D] He's a very happy baby, loves to watch Braves games with his dad, enjoys his baths, and won't stop smiling when his mom feeds him cereal. His eyes are still a gorgeous blue and what little hair he has is very blonde. I've added some newer pic's to his photo gallery on his web page.

We are so happy that things are looking good for Julie!!![:D] I know that things are going to be fine because the little one is due in the greatest month there is. I can only think of one other sign that would make things perfect, Feb. 20. You take care of yourself and the little one!!! Thanks to Amy and Emm for checking out Parker's page and signing his guestbook. Thanks to all that have!!!! It gives me goose bumps when people ask me who all of you are. I will try to do better with my postings. It has been really rough with the shift transistion, military duty, and keeping the place up. I went to Atlanta this weekend and loaded up hurricane relief supplies for the victims in Florida. I was up for 30+ hours and got blistered to boot. I leave for San Antonio on the 29th, have a 2 week TDY the end of Oct. then go to Kuwait/Quatar/or Iraq in Dec. or Jan. I wish everyone the best. I know that without all of the prayers that were said for Parker, things could be very different right now. More news to come.

So glad to hear you guys are doing well! I can't wait to hear about Parker's appt on the 8th, I can't believe how fast time has gone by! My husband also works a night shift and, something I know he'll hate to give up but, we've already had the talk about switching as well. It'll be a shocker to our daily routine as well, he hasn't been on days since the months before we were married!

My pregnancy is going well! Besides the recent bouts of abdominal pain, everything is perfect! Just praying that it stays that way until February...! Thanks for asking!
